You can disable the check box alone in TreeView instead of disabling the whole node. You need to include the e-checkbox-disabled class into the check box element using the drawNode event. Please refer to the following sample to disable the check box of the tree nodes.
/**
* Disable checkbox
*/
// Hierarchical data source for TreeView component
var countries = [
{ id: 1, name: 'India', hasChild: true, expanded: true },
{ id: 2, pid: 1, name: 'Assam' },
{ id: 3, pid: 1, name: 'Bihar' },
{ id: 4, pid: 1, name: 'Tamil Nadu' },
{ id: 6, pid: 1, name: 'Punjab' },
{ id: 7, name: 'Brazil', hasChild: true },
{ id: 8, pid: 7, name: 'Paraná' },
{ id: 9, pid: 7, name: 'Ceará' },
{ id: 10, pid: 7, name: 'Acre' },

{ id: 20, pid: 16, name: 'Western Australia' },

];
// Renders treeview
var tree1 = new ej.navigations.TreeView({
fields: { dataSource: countries, id: 'id', text: 'name', parentID: 'pid', hasChildren: 'hasChild' },
showCheckBox: true,
drawNode: drawNode
});
tree1.appendTo('#tree');
// Disables the checkbox alone in treeview
function drawNode(args) {
var ele = args.node.querySelector('.e-checkbox-wrapper');
ele.classList.add('e-checkbox-disabled');
